Exit 38 is considered a gym right? yes indeed

Plenty of "non accreditted" guides are capable and sometimes more capable than the others. Call who you want whatever you want. If I charged folks to get guided up ingalls peak I guess I would be a guide if I was capable. What would you call it? A thief a ripoff or something else I suppose I think JY and J.Nelson were "non acreditted guides" for years and were definitely more capable than many folks guiding with credentials today... .... .... ....

(you fill in the rest )

Girth Pillar of Mt stuart. If I could climb 5.11 I'd go for it... Plenty of climbing here.. ... Depends on what you are looking for too. There are alpine routes, sport, trad and major choss routes for those people... Dont mind trask he's my bud being more specific in what you are looking for will help.

Mountaineers and Boealps taking classes up there this weekend.

What summit is this.

Or like Nicolae Ceausescu. It's better if the Iraqis do it themselves. definitely

I'd like to see Saddam's carcass dragged out and strung up like Mussoliniweenie

Phukkin a alpinek.

as long as freezing levels stay low when you go it should be worth taking the trip I think.

Well I have to admit that I am actually the famed G-spotter

G-spotter = Sprayshaw

Check out moron here

It's all grad III until you are forced to bivy G-spotter.

All of them are good. If the description says mossy and wet that means it's even better.

Anybody who thinks they can navigate long distances through the bush with absolute accuracy or similar conditions would be an idiot. Of course it's not as good as a old fashioned compass but I and many others I would guess less than often carry real compasses... .... ... ..

Nope. They are the ones that have more gate clearance than the neutrino and weigh the same as well as just being the similar strength. Prowire 24 kN 8 kN 8 kN 36 24 mm A208

Yep it is less brittle and *way* easier to climb in. I'd rather have some real ice and brittle conditions. I am able to adapt better.

If you are talking about bd neutrinos check out the dmm pro wires.

I have had some different alt. I like the suunto vector. I reset it about once every month. Works good enough. The only times I rely on it are when I am in whiteout conditions and then will set it daily to known altitudes if I can. Never had a problem. Nothing is completely accurate out there if you dont set it daily I guess. Using the Suunto is not simple all the time ie setting alarms and other things. It's a cool tool (altimeter) but like anything else it's not foolproof. At least with the suunto you also get a compass and alarms for alpine starts. I rarely use the alarm since my alpine start is often after dawn in summer. I dont want to downplay one of my other altimeters I had on a sony watch from years ago other than you had to set it every day which is high maintenance. It was often more innacurate or off than the suunto. If it's too high maintenance then I usually dont like things

I think that has to do with materials. Also note that the ice sac is simple to compress. If that's too much maintenance for the diversity well.. get something else. I've used it in so many situations I am convinced it is a great pack. I do hear lots of good things about Cold Cold world. THey must be good.

It's like a shoe. Depends on how it feels and what you are willing to compromise. Waterproof is a plus. Nothing is waterproof for long without maintenance. I've been trying out marmot ultimate ski gloves with success. Not necessarily the best dexterity. But with a thin liner fine to take off the glove and make any super dexterous actions. Use snoseal on the leather palms regularly. I also like to use a shitty shell with http://www.glacierglove.com/pages/iceclimb.htm in warmer than 0 degrees F temps sometimes.... Make some prunes out of your hands but usually warm in the temps I metioned. Plus everyone's definition of cold varies. A question like this is kin to who's your favorite politician. Ups and downs are evident.

Any winter route with rocks that might require you to belay Especially the Girth Pillar of Mt Stuart and placing a nice fixed bong on the Great Gendarme of NR Stuart.

I agree. I just felt like introducing something new Plus Dave is just pissed since I rendered him as I have
